GW10 Attack and Defence Rankings

Our weekly run throught the attacking and clean sheet potential on offer for fantasy football managers

Here’s our regular look through the fixtures for Gameweek 10 and who are the teams to target for most likely goal and clean sheet returns.

Man City top our attacking rankings against Man United for this week but our ‘Predicted Goals’ algorithm (which you can find for all games via our Fixture Analyser) does not account for when big teams go head to head like this and coaches adjust their approach to the game. City have been able to score plenty of goals in this fixture over recent seasons although very recent form suggests they are a little off their best with even Pellegrini admitting he's worried about his team's failure to win any of their last three games. Nonetheless, Sergio Aguero is a still a captain contender in our eyes in any game, and in particular when City are at home. United's defence on the road hasn't exactly been something to write home about either.

The standout fixture for both attacking and defensive returns across GW10 of Fantasy Premier League GW10 however is certainly Chelsea versus QPR. All eyes have been on the Blues team sheet in recent weeks and so too will it be on Saturday. This week though Diego Costa is expected to be fit and back in the starting XI and he'll certainly be the leading candidate to captain the insideFPL team.

Alexis Sanchez is this week's leading transfer target for Fantasy Premier League managers with over 120,000 signing the in-form Chilean. A home game for Arsenal against Burnley is certainly a tantalising prospect for Sanchez as well as owners of Danny Welbeck and Calum Chambers in defence. Aaron Ramsey could well serve a reminder of his fantasy potential too and could be an unlikley differential after net sales of almost 1 million over the last few weeks.
